After years of battling ­premature baldness.WAYNE Rooney has gone on record as saying that he is “delighted” with his new hair transplant.

The 25-year-old Manchester United ­forward underwent the ­treatment  this week  and recently tweeted “Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant….“I was going bald at 25 why not. I’m delighted with the result.”

Rooney got the ­procedure at the clinic in Harley Street, London – estimated to cost €13,500.

Rooney became paranoid about his hairline after  Cristiano Ronaldo nicknamed him Bobby Charlton.

He tweeted: “It’s still a bit bruised and swollen when it dies down u will be first to see it.” He even quipped: “Anyone ­recommend any good hair gel. Haha.”

Wayne’s team-mate Rio Ferdinand joked: “You’ll be doing head&shoulders adverts soon!”  Wife Coleen tweeted: “His own decision not me asking him, like alot are ­saying!! Pleased for him and it will look great x.”

In a recent Twitter exchange, teammate Michael Owen mocked Wayne’s profile picture, saying: “How old are you in that photo? Your face looks like a 12-year-old’s but your hair looks like a 60-year-old’s!” Roo replied: “U know that’s a sensitive subject.”
The support from his fellow United players will be a boost for Rooney, who has struggled not to take changing-room jokes about his thinning thatch to heart.

Rooney was placed under local anaesthetic for the eight-hour transplant procedure at the Queen Anne Street Medical Centre, home to the Harley Street Hair Clinic.

Individual hairs are removed from a donor patch, one at a time, using a punch-like precise micro-surgical tool, leaving pinprick-size wounds which heal quickly.

The hairs are then “planted” into tiny incisions. The procedure is available at only a handful of clinics across Europe and America.  Hair transplants usually take around 3 months to start growing in so Rooney probably wont see and real change until September time.
